Research Integrity

Dynamic Computing is committed to maintaining the highest standards of research integrity, transparency, and responsible scholarly communication. The journal expects authors, reviewers, editors, and all other participants in the publication process to uphold ethical standards and contribute to the reliability and credibility of the published scholarly record.

1. Commitment to Research Integrity

All research submitted to Dynamic Computing should be conducted and reported honestly, responsibly, and transparently. Authors are responsible for ensuring that the research presented in their manuscripts accurately reflects the work undertaken and that the results are reported without fabrication, falsification, or misleading presentation.

2. Research Misconduct

The journal considers research misconduct to include, but not be limited to, fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, manipulation or inappropriate presentation of research data, and other practices that compromise the integrity of scholarly research.

Allegations of research misconduct will be taken seriously and may be investigated by the journal in accordance with applicable publication ethics principles and established editorial procedures.

3. Fabrication and Falsification

Authors must not fabricate research data, results, observations, experiments, or other research-related information. Falsification, including the manipulation, selective alteration, or inappropriate omission of data or research processes in a manner that misrepresents the findings, is unacceptable.

4. Plagiarism and Redundant Publication

Submitted manuscripts must contain original scholarly work. Plagiarism, substantial duplication of previously published material, and inappropriate reuse of text, figures, tables, data, or other intellectual contributions are not acceptable.

Authors must properly acknowledge and cite the sources and contributions on which their work is based. The journal's Plagiarism Policy provides further information regarding plagiarism and related issues.

5. Authorship and Contributions

Authorship should accurately reflect substantial contributions to the research and manuscript. All listed authors should have made meaningful contributions to the work, approved the final version of the manuscript, and agreed to its submission and publication.

Individuals who do not meet the criteria for authorship should not be listed as authors. All authors are collectively responsible for the integrity of the work and should be able to identify their respective contributions.

6. Research Ethics and Approvals

Where applicable, research involving human participants, personal data, animals, or other subjects requiring ethical oversight should comply with relevant institutional, national, and international ethical requirements. Authors should obtain the necessary ethical approvals before conducting the research and provide appropriate information about such approvals when required.

7. Data Integrity and Transparency

Authors are expected to maintain accurate research records and preserve the underlying data and materials necessary to support their reported findings, subject to applicable ethical, legal, privacy, and confidentiality requirements.

Where appropriate and permitted, authors are encouraged to provide sufficient information to support the verification, reproducibility, and transparency of their research.

8. Conflicts of Interest

Authors, reviewers, and editors should disclose any financial, personal, professional, or other relationships that could reasonably be perceived as influencing the research, review, or editorial decision-making process.

Relevant disclosures should be made transparently in accordance with the journal's Conflict of Interest Policy.

9. Responsibilities of Reviewers

Reviewers are expected to evaluate manuscripts objectively, confidentially, and independently. Reviewers should identify potential ethical concerns, including suspected plagiarism, data manipulation, duplicate publication, or other issues that may affect the integrity of the manuscript.

Reviewers should not use unpublished information obtained through peer review for personal advantage or disclose confidential manuscript information to others.

10. Responsibilities of Editors

Editors are responsible for maintaining the integrity, fairness, and transparency of the editorial and peer-review process. Editorial decisions should be based on the scholarly quality, relevance, originality, and ethical compliance of the submitted work.

Editors should handle allegations of research misconduct appropriately and, where necessary, take suitable action to protect the integrity of the scholarly record.

11. Handling Allegations of Misconduct

When the journal receives a credible allegation concerning research integrity, the editorial team may conduct an initial assessment and request clarification or relevant documentation from the authors or other concerned parties.

Where appropriate, the matter may be referred to the authors' affiliated institution or another competent authority for further investigation. The journal may take editorial action based on the findings, including correction, expression of concern, rejection, or retraction of published work where warranted.

12. Corrections and Retractions

If significant errors, ethical concerns, or research misconduct are identified after publication, the journal may publish a correction, expression of concern, or retraction as appropriate.

The journal is committed to maintaining an accurate and reliable scholarly record. Further information is provided in the journal's Retraction & Correction Policy.

13. Cooperation and Transparency

Authors and other participants in the publication process are expected to cooperate with reasonable requests for clarification, supporting documentation, or information required to assess concerns relating to research integrity.

Dynamic Computing reserves the right to take appropriate editorial action when research integrity concerns are substantiated or when the integrity of the publication process may have been compromised.
